And when it don't sell they will blame piracy and not the fast of people not wanting to pay $100+ for a game addon(s) + all the lame DLCs which should of been with the game in the 1st place.

Well said m8! This kind of shit always reminds of the time the Resident Evil 5 multiplayer was on the actual retail disc, yet you still had to pay to unlock it! :mad:

I uninstalled DragonAge origins and awakening to give room for other stuff (left the save games though), will I be able to see / interact with the stuff I did back in DoA?

BumbleBee · Mar 6, 2011

the import save features only takes decisions you made in Dragon Age: Origins into Dragon Age II. if you never completed Dragon Age: Origins you should start a new game without importing a save.

i was interested in DAII but with the short campaign and mass amount of DLC to come ill wait till steam has a deal on it 2 years from now for $25 for all of it. really not interesting in $60 game + $40 DLC + $30 expansion again. Still ill be chomping at the bit to have the game till then..

I couldn't agree more.... $60 bucks + DLC costs.... I loved DA:O but, I'm waiting for the game and DLC for under $60.00 a year+ from now....

Ok so no need to reinstall DAO for the decisions? Is what I was getting at..

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 6, 2011

no if you beat origins you can use that save game,

i specifically am playing 3 new runs on origins for key changes desicions etc to eventually import into DA II when it drops in price. long as you have a fully completed save game your good to go

Frizz · Mar 7, 2011

lol, I've reformatted around 4-5 times since I've finished the first DA:Origins game, I really need to start backing up my saved games :laugh:

apparently to get full high res graphics u have to download an additional graphics pack

http://social.bioware.com/page/da2-patches

HOLY CONSOLE PORT BATMAN...

This will add the option to enable higher detail replacements for most textures in game. A big difference will be noticed on level art especially.

Requirements:
Using high-resolution textures requires a graphics card with at least 1024MB video memory.
Most of the benefits from the Hi-resolution textures will only be seen if you are able to run the game in DirectX 11.

To manually download your new content on the PC:
Download the installer from the link below and run it.
Run Dragon Age II.
Open the Options menu.
Select Video options.
Check the "Hi-resolution textures" checkbox.

Note: In order to enable the "Very High" setting you will need a video card that supports DX11 and the latest drivers.

So this sounds like dx11 isnt even available out of the box.. and this patch is basically just plugging that and the missing high res textures in

What's this $hit man??? :eek:

ShiBDiB · Mar 8, 2011

Just played the game for a few hours, at lvl 4 with the main character.. And ill just say I'm happy I went the try before buying route. So far despite appearing like a fairly open world game, at the same time its on the rails RPG.

But ill give it a bit more of a shot.

Graphics wise, I have the HD patch installed. And I can safely say I cant play on very high with my system.. which is sad.

BumbleBee · Mar 8, 2011

thanks for that. I canceled the PC version and ordered the XBOX 360 version.

Do you have the latest Nvidia beta's installed?

Praetorian · Mar 8, 2011

How could you play the game if it's not even released yet?! Am I missing something here?
